The third installment of AEW Battle of the Belts has been scheduled for later this summer.
On Friday, August 5, AEW will make its debut in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a live Rampage episode and a Battle of the Belts III taping.

The one-hour Battle of the Belts specials were initially scheduled to air quarterly on TNT. The first event took place on January 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and featured Sammy Guevara defeating Dustin Rhodes to become the Interim AEW TNT Champion, FTW Champion Ricky Starks retaining over Matt Sydal, and then-AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker retaining over Riho. The second special was taped on April 15 but broadcast on April 16 from Garland, Texas. Guevara defeated current TNT Champion Scorpio Sky for the title in the second special, ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham retained over Dalton Castle, and AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa retained over Nyla Rose.
